If you’re having problems downloading apps or installing updates from the App Store, you’re not alone. I am not able to download apps or install updates, and another colleague has verified the same. Also, if you check Apple’s system status page, you’ll see where the iTunes Store is experiencing issues.

This issue appears to be affecting iTunes Store, App Store, and Mac App Store purchases and updates. Best advice? Just be patient until Apple gets things resolved.

You can visit Apple’s system status page to keep an eye on all of its services. Once the iTunes Store issue is resolved, you should see the system status change from yellow to green. Note that this issue doesn’t appear to affect all users, as some of us on the iDB team are able to use the App Store with no problem.
